Our inspector says this is a defect, but the site managers disagree, arguing it can’t be seen from a 2m (6.5 ft) distance. What do you think?
The adhesive has been pushed out between the panes, see the picture....

You are the builders
No need to be so sharp. You can go be with the little kids.
You really should have studied the plans and order confirmations. It seems like you have quite a few issues overall. Sometimes it’s important to reflect on yourself and your own communication.
So, if this is supposed to be a wooden window, I must "admire" your photography skills.
Since it’s unfortunately hard to see anything clearly, it’s difficult to assess whether there is a defect. One thing that definitely should not be damaged or thinner in any area is the sealing of the panes: otherwise, the space between the panes is not sealed, and the gas will gradually be replaced by regular air. This causes condensation droplets to appear.
In the garage, I would have been satisfied with aluminum on both sides (and simpler glass).
Does the house live up to the standard expected from wood/aluminum windows? Can this be seen in the house photos thread?

there is no need to be so snappy. You can act like that with small children.

Since it’s unfortunately hard to see anything clearly, assessing whether there is a defect is difficult. What should definitely not be damaged or thinner in any place is the sealing of the panes: otherwise, the space between them is not airtight, and the gas will gradually be replaced by normal air. Then you will see condensation droplets.

Does the house live up to the standards expected from wood/aluminum? – Can you see it in the house photos thread?As I said, I don’t have a DSLR camera with me on site… the wood is painted white on the inside to match the roof structure. I almost wished it were a bit darker so you could immediately tell from a distance that it is wood; so I’ll let that slide (-;
How exactly can I tell if the seal is damaged? And how long do you think it takes for the gas to escape? Is it noticeable right away or only after a few years?
No, it’s not in the house photos thread and it won’t be, as I don’t want to argue about floor plans and such or hear things like “you should have done that differently”... because if I had known that beforehand, I would have done it differently, of course…
Strangely, for example, the windows in the utility rooms, like storage, are made of uPVC and no one asked about that… Thanks for the tip above, but maybe I just didn’t think about it myself earlier?
Hilfe Hilfe seems to be the only one having no problems building at all.
Everything is going well for us, we just have questions here and there. The only thing that didn’t work out was cooperating with the carpenter.

No, it’s not in the house images thread and it won’t be, I’m not interested in having discussions about floor plans, etc. There are houses where we only know the foundation slab layout—and only in the state before the minor addition called "living room," that is, a non-basement extension :-)
Just asking questions and then not showing what you’ve made of it doesn’t go over well :-(

I don’t have a DSLR camera on site either It’s really more about the lighting than the camera type itself. You don’t need a Hasselblad here. It’s just that with bright, reflective snow in shaded areas, having enough megapixels helps.

It doesn’t smell or hiss. You notice it when humidity condenses. That’s the point.

It’s odd, for example, the windows in utility rooms like storage are made of plastic and nobody asked about that either Ah, so the garage is considered a habitable space (occupied by the car)? The differentiation should be in the building specification.
